I can only speak from my experiences of 2 and a bit years but I think we need to really define what Hive is all about - is it niche for long form content, blogging and vlogging or is it a place for everyone (short form, selfies, one liners as well)?

When I first joined, I thought it was a place where long form content solely existed, a bit like a monetisable version of your own WordPress site or Medium. But as time has gone on, it's opened the doors to so much more - short form content with loads of comments on is equally as valuable due to the social interaction here.

"Quality Content" doesn't really mean anything because everyone has their own definition of "quality". Some of my shorter posts that I've made have received far more traction and comments than others I've written that were 2k words and beyond that took days to prepare.

Sometimes, it's not always about going out there and "looking for quality content" as a lot of people (like me) just post here for fun and use it like a social media site, sprinkle a few comments around with the added bonus of dishing out some crypto and growing your own account too. I've found this to be the most effective way of growing my account and meeting new people, just by going out there and meeting others because that's how it has to be done. If you just post and don't stick around to engage then you can't expect much...

I'd say joining the engagement league from @abh12345 is a must for interactive purposes and having fun.

I've set up @yourtop3 which is a monthly contest with @foxyspirit, @cheese4ead and @plantstoplanks as a bit of fun open to everyone regardless of stake so we welcome people to enter. On top of other projects I co-run outside of Hive, I'm going to be honest, I don't think I can dedicate more than what I already do to Hive as I'm as active as I can be so if you are requiring extra with the Dolphin Assemble then I'll have to rule myself out unfortunately.
